Paris Marathon Training: Week 5 of 18
Today’s target run: 48 minutes
Today’s completed run: no run today; feeing very fatigued.
My brief business trip to London kept me from posting a few of the remaining blog posts from Turkey…Humor me for just a few more days.
Besides the lovely Aya Sophya, the other main site in Sultanahmet (Old Istanbul) is the Blue Mosque (known as Sultan Ahmet Cami). Actually, this mosque is really THE mosque in Istanbul. Built in 1609, it gets its name from the thousands of blue tiles lining the walls inside the mosque. The mosque has over 260 stained glass windows and six minarets. We were able to tour the interior just as prayers were ending.
Holly enroute to the Blue Mosque…yes, the red jacket lives on (smile).

Loved the pictures from Istanbul, Ephesus, Mary's house, etc. We've been there twice and these brought back many wonderful memories.
In the theater at Ephesus, we read the Acts 19 account of Paul and the "riot in Ephesus" at the theater.
